Dare to Love the Guy Next Door: Sweet Romantic Comedy

Written by Ellie Hall

Narrated by Lorana Hoopes

A dating dare? It could turn out to be the perfect match or it could be worse than a slap on a sunburn.

Me, little ol’ Paisley Jones, envisioned glitz and glamour with my movie star fiancé until a humiliating, public scandal explodes in my life like damp confetti. I escape to the family cottage with an ocean view and am not looking for love until a dare and a crazy seagull send me next door.

Griffin Sanders was a late-blooming goofball, but now, as a competitive surfer and business owner, not much stops him. However, when an injury keeps him out of the water, he’s stuck on dry land. Turns out his teen crush is hiding out in the neighboring cottage.

That would be yours truly, but I don’t recognize him at first. Big waves. Big surprise.

Quirky and independent, I never quite fit in the celebrity world. I’m not sure where I belong until I get on a surfboard. But it’s hard to tell if the popular surfing instructor is just another guy seeking fame and fortune, the silly kid from my childhood summers, or someone I can ride the waves with.

Will we take the plunge or will our affection for one another drop like the tide?

This is the second story in a five-book romantic comedy series. Be sure to download the FREE coloring page to complete while you listen!

Reviews for Dare to Love the Guy Next Door

[Stephanie Morello · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The narrator was hard to listen to. She started every sentence with an up beat and it got annoying fast. The story was also hard to follow at times. Too many flashbacks.

3.5 stars...
If you are looking for an easy, breezy mindless type of romcom, you may enjoy it. It had a few of my biggest pet peeves in it. Weather inaccuracies and assumptions. I listened to the audio and that may have detracted me also. I know many use this narrator, she just isn't my favorite. Her tone or infections drive me crazy sometimes. I like Ellie Hall on Instagram, but this series hasn't been my favorite. Maybe I should move to a different one or read instead of listen.
